The Paddlers (ピンポン人?, Pinpon Hito) are blue, box-headed humanoid figures resembling the Space Dancers who first appear in Rhythm Rally.

Backstory

It is said that these strange beings live on a diet of table tennis, and if they stop playing, they grow weak and sickly. It is unknown if this to be taken literally or if it's just an exaggeration, though some have successfully weaned themselves off table tennis by substituting paddle ball. They are also described as being racing fans, appearing in Freeze Frame. A pair of Paddlers can also be spotted in the crowd in Battle of the Bands. The image of a Paddler can be seen occasionally in Cheer Readers 2.

Throughout Rhythm Heaven, the Paddlers play table tennis is a variety of locations, such as a featureless white plain, a tropical island (where their color changes to orange), and outer space on a UFO. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, they play in a cardboard room, on a giant flower, a giant cake and a barbershop (where their color changes to red). In Cosmic Rhythm Rally, they take on the appearance of the Cosmo Dancers.

In Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 05, "Why Their Dance is so Awesome", a trio of Paddlers are show trying to do the Space Dance, but always coming up short. Suddenly, what appears to be Space Gramps in Paddler attire comes in to suggest they play table tennis to get back in the groove. They find this method to work, and continue their dancing, albiet as Space Dancers.
